It is Federal Election day in Australia! We get to chose if we retain John Howard and his Liberal Party (Conservatives) in government or put in place the Labour Party (Socialists) in.
The campaign has been run on “Trust” being the keyword, but both major parties have a different take on this word. The Liberals ask us if we “Trust” Labour with the economy, and the Labour party ask’s us if we should “Trust” the party that took us into war on “incomplete/incorrect” evidence.
I will update you later today on how it all goes.
Update: Well we have voted, including my Father in law doing an interstate vote. I can tell you now he and I are at total opposite ends of the political spectrum.
Update(2): The votes are in and enough have been counted for a result. Our conservative government has been returned with a larger majority than before. I must say I am not impressed.
